    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

purchased this bike from a landlord, the prevous renter left it....replaced boots....PROBLEM: Carbs donot seem to take in any fuel...I can spray gas or starter fluid through the venturies and the bike will start...but will not continue...can the carbs be so clogged (old gas no doubt) that even the main jets wont work?? Took apart the fuel bowls and removed the main jets, cleaned, seemed ok and reassembled...same problem, any suggestions before I pay someone to professionally rebuild the carbs, cant think of anything else it could be... thanks in advance..

:D
You are getting gas to the carbs, right? A. there's gas in the tank. b. the petcock runs feely. c. the vacum is woking on the petcock. d theres enough gas so that you don't need to turn the petcock to reserve.
Ok that's enough about gas.
:D :D :D
 
Did you try turning the fuel valve to prime to fill bowls. This takes longer
than you think. Fuel valve does not work until there is vac. Check for splits in vac. line.
 
Try taking a look at the carb cleanup series and do a complete tear down and thorough cleaning, replacing any o-rings that need replacing, and see what happens.
 
Check the holes in the carb bowls. The little brass straw goes into a hole in carb bowl. This is choke circuit. If these holes are blocked it can't get gas when choke is applied. the straw must also be clean and free. Choke must be on to blow cleaner through this straw. Remove rubber parts before doing this as cleaner may ruin these rubber parts.
 
Gas

Gas

dumb question, but did you put new gas in the tank? Old gas can be a problem.
